The patch fixes the problem for me; logredo now completes successfully. In a further test, I copied a directory tree (~50MB) into a brand new jfs partition, and then removed it. Prior to the copy, df showed 196KB used in the partition (500MB), presumably for the journal/log. After the cp/rm/sync it showed 332KB used. Unmounting the partition, and running "fsck -fv" showed nothing unusual, but after remounting, df showed ~210KB used. Is this hysteretic behavior normal? I'd expect an empty partition to show the same "used" amount whether it was newly created or emptied with a rm -rf. I also monitored the syslog file during this test, and occasionally an ls on the jfs partition after the rm -rf seemed to trigger an "XTREE_GETPAGE: xtree page corrupt" message that others have reported. I wasn't able to reliably reproduce this though; I'll continue to do some testing. Thanks for your effort in bringing JFS to linux!
